I should seal it in the garage and take someone else's vehicle to the beach!

In the UK the wax oil type products are quite popular. Over here in Australia almost nobody has even heard of it... More people use fish oil (your car will smell a bit for a week or two). There are also electronic rust prevention systems which usually spark a lot if debate.

Dinitrol products seem to have a good reputation for under body seal . Fish oil Fridayman interesting i have often wondered how pure tung oil would perform coz it's been used to proof wooden boats for thousands of years .

I'm moving away from wax based underseals and using this stuff: http://www.acf-50.co.uk/corrosion_block.htm
It is a heavier duty version of the 'standard' ACF50, developed for marine use. Quite impressed with it so far.

you need to be careful that what you use can't drip if it's oil based because that creates a significant hazard for other road users, especially motorcyclists.

The practice of spraying old engine oil or diesel on the underside is a real nono.

you need a good wax based cavity seal because you will never get the salt water out of the inside of the chassis rails etc even if you jet wash it immediately afterwards, you could try and find a nice deep fresh water crossing to wash it all through!!

Nothing will be 100% and ultimately it will cause your vehicle to rot out prematurely
